One year ago today, on June 15, 2018, Father Valerijan Jenko OFM, OAM, passed way in Ljubljana, aged 92. Today, we remember him as one of the pillars of the Slovenian community in Australia, who also established the St Raphael's Slovenian Catholic Church and mission in Merrylands, Sydney, with the help and support of the Slovenian community in NSW. In this interview, we speak with well known, active Slovenian in Sydney, Mark Stariha about when the commemorative busts to Fr. Valerijan Jenko will be unveiled and what is planned.
